File:Wicked_Lady_Pub.jpg

[edit]

This is a derivative work 80.187.106.209 14:22, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is not derivative; it has been moved from the English Wikipedia, onto which entry I will shortly add an appropriate {{commons}} tag to allow its deletion there. The licence on English Wikipedia is "{{PD-self|date=March 2007}}". I know of no similar image on Commons. Hogweard (talk) 17:49, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete: unfortunately, the photograph is an unauthorized derivative work of the painting of the "wicked lady" on the sign, which is itself a copyrighted artistic work. The photograph of the sign cannot be hosted on the Commons unless the copyright holder of the painting confirms that he or she consents to the painting being licensed to the Commons under a free licence. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 18:22, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose I could ask the owner of the pub when it was painted. He lives not far from me. Hogweard (talk) 20:13, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's not really the question; as a British sign, it will have to be at the very least 70 years old to be in the public domain, and I'm pretty sure it's not. You'll need permission of the artist.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:16, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Hogweard can find out from the pub owner who painted it, then ask the artist if he or she has any objections to the photograph being licensed to the Commons under a free licence. If such consent can be obtained, it should be e-mailed to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, and an {{OTRS pending}} tag should be placed on the image description page. It may also be the case that the artist has transferred the copyright in the sign to the pub owner, in which case it is the pub owner's consent that is required. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 09:01, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had a reply. I would have told myself to "get knotted" if I even got past the spam box, but Mr Smith of the Wicked Lady wrote to say:

Many thanks for your e-mail and passion for the area.

We have our own design team who created the print, for us it is really not a problem for you to use it.

I appreciate you asking, good luck with the project.

Regards,

Paul Smith. Managing Partner. 07808094718

  • This permission request is not sufficient. Details such as commercial use, derivatives etc. must be permitted. I realize it is annoying to bother them with another email, but we have templates for such permission requests. --Dschwen (talk) 17:13, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
So be it. Where do I find such a template? Hogweard (talk) 22:27, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
